An Old Friend (Closed, Finished, backdated)

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Kairi, Riku
Content: Friends meet again after months apart
Setting: Near Sora's place in the Townhomes.
Time: Early afternoon
Warnings: Some potential angst on Riku's part.



Riku's breath pumped in and out with each quick footfall. His thoughts weren't on the thudding of his heart or the fact he'd twisted his ankle a bit on the way.

His thoughts were on his childhood friend, his relief over the chance to see her again and the concern that she was in harm's way just by being here.

But still, she was here, and she was safe. And he and Sora would make sure she was. Simply having her around was a source of comfort. A small smile spread on his face as he neared where'd they'd meet, and even he couldn't deny his heart pounded with a little excitement and not just from running.

She didn't remember what happened, but really, those weren't happy memories.

...At least she wouldn't remember him oversleeping on her couch that one time before meeting with Timon.

For his stride, Kairi had to double time it just a bit, but she could handle that. "Mm, I do want to get home soon. But if we end up leaving I might not get to see that Spira place." She tapped her chin as she walked. "You know, you could just take me now and I'll be really careful. As long as you're with me, I'm sure it'll be fine."
